SWEET, something I can pick up in Japan and bring back with me (other than the recent Revoltech releases).

This definitely requires a screen capture or an episode or something. I'm pretty sure the blades were never extended in the anime... Yellow stuck to his chest missiles.

Sure there are CAD drawings from Yamato, we all drool and speculate over them every time we hear word of a new release. Yamato just put the CAD to their 1/60 VF-1s (version 1 I believe) on the special sleeve to the 1/48 VF-1S Weathering.

Isn't the old ship just space debris? I guess it's a lot like the ol' Hollywood exploding car syndrome.

This was a pretty decent episode if not a bit heavy-hearted in comparison to the last. This episode's gripe? The editing. The episode felt jumpy and kinda slapped together. I also didn't like the VF-27 having a gun so amazing it can blow up entire battleships... that's a wee bit much for me.

If it's on the Tamashii site does that mean that all of these toys will be getting international distribution? Me likes -

Yep, I noted all that, and what appears to be GBP design info as well. It's too much of a teaser pic though, I'm going to stick with analyzing the prototype stuff.

Let's not get carried away here. Toynami isn't in control of anything. None of us know what Bandai will do. The early indication is that there will be many reissues and new variants but we all get to play a game of wait and see now. A VF-1D seems like a no-brainer to me, I really hope Bandai feels the same way. If the VT and VE are released you can expect some minor differences (heatshield attachment) so it won't completely destroy the value of the old collectibles.

That makes sense, it explains Kate's "no never" response to Jack.

I'll use spoilers for those planning on watching this online tomorrow but it's mostly speculation anyway.

I honestly wasn't too thrilled with this last episode but overall this was a pretty good season. I guess my problem with the finale was a lot of it HAD to happen... there weren't many HUGE surprises other than the man in the box at the end.

Much like the Q-Rau eventually sold for $50, so will these.

I think the tallest bit is more an optical illusion. It's essentially the same height depending on how you position the heels and the head fin. You guys should really check out my third posting on the legioss for tons of comparison pics in various modes with various Alpha/Legioss toys.

Too many mysteries, too goofy a plot, this episode was teh suxor. I tried to have fun with it, I really did, but.... lame. I guess it's another episode that sets up a future episode to be good though since now we have even more mysteries to unfold. Has creepy looking Cathy-boyfriend guy ever expressed an interest in Ranka before? MEGA MEH!

Quick correction, it's the Gakken 1/8 Ride Armor you're probably asking about. Gakken's 1/35 Ride Armors are tiny diecast figures that don't transform.

What confuses me there though is that most other taxes are expensed throughout the year because you more or less know what they're going to be. I guess you could still account for them separately but it seems silly, they're all a cost of doing business whereas income tax is a cost of being successful.

Don't forget, the hands were pretty huge in the cartoon... maybe Yamato was just trying to capture that feeling. Besides, Yamato probably took so much heat over their tiny 1/48 hands they took the "You want big hands... you got 'em!" approach on this one.

My Little Pony... OF DEATH! No? How about this one: My Little MECHANIZED Pony

You gave the mecha porn episode the "worst episode so far" title? Wow. Can't say I disagree with any of your criticisms though. Any time someone can compare a fight scene to something we saw in Mac7 it suddenly loses a whole lot of points in my book. Oh well, I love mech porn so I definitely still enjoyed the episode even with all its contrivances. If I can forgive Alto for some reason being in Ozma's hospital room after he got injured then I guess I could forgive Cathy having a random perilous assignment. Luca being captured struck me as very odd also... I wish he would have just been bobbing about in a debilitated mech or something.

Did you guys notice the arm armor?

Hmm, they lost $595K before taxes. I don't do taxes... but doesn't the US tax on income? Doesn't that mean they lost $595K... PERIOD. Saying a loss, before taxes, makes it sound like the loss would be worse but if you don't make money you don't pay taxes. Am I missing something obvious? As far as this news go, since they're just being merged it sounds like there's a chance not much will happen.

Well it looks like my info may be more Robotech RPG (meaning... not true) according ot that Mospeada page which lists the ride armor with swords as a heavy combat version. No wonder humanity lost during the invasion... their weaponry was designed to run up and stab enemies shooting plasma discs.

Is this thing getting released in June still?

Ivanov had the missiles that didn't attach well to the hardpoints (much like the 1/48 Reflex missiles that were so loose they would shift if you leaned the valk and pop off if you even thought of transforming it). The biggest problem with Ivanov had to be the number of people that got the wrong wing hinge. All the SV-51s that came out after him have the fixes (Nora, CF) so they don't really fit in the discussion. That all said, the SV-51 was a definite step in the right direction for Yamato getting over their first release jitters. After the disaster which was the VF-0 though I don't think anyone could ever be faulted for saying "Nah, you know what, I think I'll wait for a second release."
